watercolor - this is the final painting per my previous post. This image has just a touch more red than the actual painting. My Photoshop skills for color correction are not the best.
This structure is visible from KS 177 between Strong City & Council Grove. It sits high on a hill and you can see for a fair distance across the prairie to the west. Beautiful location & a beautiful native stone structure!

The last three percent of untouched Tallgrass Prairie left in North America is in the Flint Hills of Kansas and the Osage Hills in Extreme Northern Oklahoma. The Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie is clearly the last significant expanse of a unique prairie ecosystem and it needs to be protected and preserved for future generations.
The Flint Hills, in the eastern part of the state, fan out over 183 miles from north to south, stretching 30 to 40 miles wide in parts, the land folding into itself, then popping up in gentle bumps, with mounds looming far off on the horizon. Seemingly endless,
the landscape offers up isolated images — a wind-whipped cottonwood tree, a rusted cattle pen, a spindly windmill, an abandoned limestone schoolhouse, the metal-gated entrance to a hilltop cemetery.The hills are named after another native stone, flintlike chert that Indians used to make tools. Many artifacts have been found at area quarries.
The Flint Hills in Kansas and in Oklahoma are North America’s
largest remaining tract of tallgrass prairie. The preserve is at its
full glory in late spring, when yellow, white, purple and blue wildflowers
pop up amid a sea of green grass. The grass is tallest, about waist
high in the fall.

Recently in to this fleet are a pair of E200MMCs for the Deeside Shuttle services including SK24 CWJ seen here in Flint.
watercolor - sketch - all painted with a fairly large no. 12 round brush. I like the purple hill in the distance. I like this representation of the flint hills that seem to go forever with very sparse foliage.
Radium Springs, is the largest natural spring in Georgia which empties into the Flint River. Radium glows a faint luminescent blue, not enough in water to be dangerous. Swimming was allowed but stopped in the 1980's. Picture taken on the river bank close to the spring. The Flint River in it's entirety is not this color, only around Radium Springs Park.
Buildings along Saginaw Street in downtown Flint, Michigan. The street was torn up and undergoing repairs when I took this. The building in the center at 647 Saginaw Street is home to Paul's Pipe Shop, which has been in business since 1928.
Meet "Flint," a wayward Caribbean Flamingo that was likely blown from the Yucatan Peninsula to the U.S. by hurricane Idalia. This bird was previously sighted in Ohio and Missouri before settling in for a few days at Chase State Fishing Lake near Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, USA. September 30, 2023.
This is a view of the disused Flint signal box shortly before it was demolished. Flint box saw little use and was only retained to work a trailing crossover. This had been removed during relaying operations two years earlier and the signal box was then redundant. It is seen here being passed by 20069 and 095 on an up ballast working from Penmaenmawr on the 22nd of March 1990.
On a very wet day in October 1980 a colleague and I were tasked with testing some Chester depot routes that had low bridges as to the suitability of using the ex-Southdown Daimler Fleetlines.
Having successfully made our way to Flint depot we posed this photo. Unfortunately it's not the best shot and I can't find a note of the vehicles. However it is an ex-North Western Fleetline, ex-Southdown Fleetline TCD383J, an ex-Bristol OC FLF and a Crosville FLF
